Joe McMoneagle claims he saw ‘bones’ on the surface of Mars (Picture: YouTube/Jesse Michels) A man who claims to be a former CIA agent says he has seen evidence of life on Mars. Joe McMoneagle calls himself a ‘remote viewer’, which he claims means he can perceive information about distant objects or events using the power of his mind. A retired US Army Chief Warrant Officer, he claims he and other so-called remote viewers took part in experiments carried out by US Army Intelligence and the Stanford Research Institute. He was one of the first people recruited for the Stargate Project, which ran between 1978 and 1995 – leading to him being known as ‘Remote Viewer Number 1’. The project was cancelled and declassified in 1995 after a CIA report concluded ‘no discernible benefit had been established’. But Joe appeared on the American Alchemy podcast last week and made some wild claims about what he apparently saw on Mars, during an experiment on May 22, 1984. Joe thinks there was some kind of extinction event on Mars, leaving bones on the planet’s surface (Picture: YouTube/Jesse Michels) He says instructors handed him a white card with coordinates and ‘Mars 1,000,000 BC’ written on it – and he saw a giant pyramid, bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, with ‘monster rooms inside’. Joe told the podcast: ‘I started getting an image of human beings that were trapped in a place where the atmosphere was turning bad. ‘It [was] obvious these people were dying for some reason, but they were humans. They were just twice our size.’ He believed the ‘very tall, thin’ people wearing ‘strange clothing’ were hiding inside the pyramids for shelter from a violent storm sweeping across Mars. Joe described the chambers as: ‘Different chambers… but they’re almost stripped of any kind of… furnishing or anything. It’s like ah… strictly functional, a place for sleeping—or that’s not a good word—hibernation, some form.’
